Just wanted to give my opinion of my experience at Vortex Spring. On January 26-27, 2008 we went to Vortex Spring, Ponce De Leon, FL for my NAUI Advance Rescue Class. Having grown up on the Florida Panhandle, I have been very familiar with Vortex over the years. I am not trying to start discussions about the past....just want to say how happy I am about the changes taking place at Vortex.
Shane, the new manager is really doing a great job. The price for diving is much more affordable these days. Shane showed me the new compressors and air system that he has installed....all I can say is IMPRESSIVE! I have attached pictures below. Vortex will now be banking Nitrox and has an all new system.
Shane is also extremely accomodating to divers. On Saturday, the air temps were in the low 40's, the wind and rain made SI conditions pretty miserable. Vortex opened the Pine Lodge for divers. They had the heat going and made the showers and rooms available to divers for there SI. This was a great gift and made our dives more bearable.
I know sometimes we only hear about the bad things going on. I just wanted to thank Shane and Vortex for working with us last weekend. Vortex continues to be a diver friendly place and I appreciate the efforts. Just wanted to say THANKS!
